Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 9, 2013 on behalf of workers of Agilent
Technologies, Inc., Agilent Order Fulfillment (AOF), Chemical
Analysis Group (CAG), and Global Infrastructure (GIO),
Lexington, Massachusetts (TA-W-82,639) and Agilent Technologies,
Inc., Agilent Order Fulfillment, Chemical Analysis Group, and
Global Infrastructure, Danbury, Connecticut (TA-W-82,639A)
("Agilent Technologies"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of vacuum components. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Volt Workforce
Solutions at both locations and from Advantage Tech Resources at
the Lexington, Massachusetts location.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Agilent Technologies.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Agilent Technologies,
Inc., Agilent Order Fulfillment (AOF), Chemical Analysis Group
(CAG), and Global Infrastructure (GIO), including on-site leased
workers from Volt Workforce Solutions and Advantage Tech
Resources Lexington, Massachusetts (TA-W-82,639) and Agilent
Technologies, Inc., Agilent Order Fulfillment, Chemical Analysis
Group, and Global Infrastructure, including on-site leased
workers from Volt Workforce Solutions, Danbury, Connecticut (TA-
W-82,639A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of vacuum components meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:



"All workers of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Agilent Order
Fulfillment (AOF), Chemical Analysis Group (CAG), and
Global Infrastructure (GIO), including on-site leased
workers from Volt Workforce Solutions and Advantage Tech
Resources Lexington, Massachusetts (TA-W-82,639) and
Agilent Technologies, Inc., Agilent Order Fulfillment,
Chemical Analysis Group, and Global Infrastructure,
including on-site leased workers from Volt Workforce
Solutions, Danbury, Connecticut (TA-W-82,639A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 5, 2012 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 17th day of May, 2013.
